Networking and coalitions are not enough

Since my first post in this blog, I have been campaigning for a United Mankind Initiative with the aim of establishing a United Mankind Organisation as a second world organisation alongside the United Nations. To this end, organisations and groups in civil society that are striving for or advocating a new, democratic world order have been addressed first and foremost. This part of civil society is already networked with each other or forms coalitions to campaign for specific goals. But this is not enough to achieve these goals. What is missing is a binding organisation with a democratic structure based on the will of serious world citizens.

Over the past six months, I have written to all these NGOs with my proposal to found a United Mankind Initiative. There was hardly any response. From the few replies I received, it became clear to me that these organisations are far too preoccupied with themselves and their own ideas. There seems to be no interest in broader perspectives. I also got the impression that this civil society would not be able to set up a United Mankind organisation at all. Some actors do nothing more than post a naive meme on social media every now and then to promote their business. I also have to say quite clearly that there are some dubious backgrounds with a lot of nonsense.

Unfortunately, I don't currently see any real possibility for humanity to penetrate the ‘Great Filter’ into a better future. The vast majority of people lack the necessary awareness for humanity. World politics is permeated with irrational elements and remains hostage to national interests. It is therefore with deep regret that I end my promotion of a ‘United Mankind Organisation’.
